The film begins with a scene
in which a young woman has a fight with her date, and storms off. She begins
walking home alone at night in what I would describe as a dodgy neighbourhood.
She suddenly realises she is being followed, so she steps into a doorway and
gets out her pepper spray. But she is relived to find that the person following
her was in a fact a rather nice old man walking what must be the world’s
smallest dog. He offers to walk with her to keep her safe, she haply accepts
the offer and they start to walk away together. But suddenly the old man
collapses to the ground clutching his chest in agony. He then springs to his
feet and grabs the young woman with a hand that just happens to have the skin
peeling off it. Eventually the old mans skin comes clean off, and the creature
that emerges scoops up the young woman and runs off. The young woman is later
found horrible raped and mutilated, but alive.
We then see the hospital in
which the young woman from earlier is being treated, and we are introduced to
the worst character in the film, Dr Pace. To say the acting of Teresa Farley
(Dr Pace) is wooden is a gigantic understatement! It was so log-like I
had to consult the forestry commission for guidance. Dr Pace also has one of
the most insensitive, idiotic and downright offensive lines of dialogue I have
heard in a long time. Dr Pace is working along side a scrawny guy called
Detective Andriotti in an attempted to catch the young woman’s attacker. It
seems that the woman who was attacked is showing strange symptoms, and instead
of finding the attackers semen the doctors found strange black goo that cannot
be identified.
The film then takes an odd
turn, and cuts to a swimsuit model at a photo shoot. After a while everybody at
the photo shoot decides to take a break for lunch, they invite the model but
she says no, and when they are gone she has a white powder lunch instead. She
then proceeds to start, for no apparent reason, doing nude yoga. As you can
imagine, this scene goes on for a long time, after all who needs a plot when
you have tits to show. Eventually the shoots stylist walks in unexpectedly to
find her doing naked yoga, this moment made me wonder if this is in fact the
set up to a crap porno, but it wasn’t. But then, just like the old man from before the
stylist falls to the floor clutching his chest in pain, but this time instead
of just skin pealing off, we see his chest covered in pulsating lumps that sprit
blood. While all of this is going on what do you think the model is doing? Is
she running to get help? Is she trying to help this poor man? No, she instead
screams a lot, and hinds behind a thin paper screen. So of when the creature
rips itself out of the stylist, and goes over to attack the model she is of
course helpless.
The rest of the film plays
out in a very similar way, we see Dr Pace and Detective Andriotti trying to
solve the case of who/what is raping these women. Then we see the creature
attack a woman, and so, and so on. Now there are some very unintentionally funny
moments in the film, one of which being when the creature rapist kills a human
rapist in order to rape that rapists potential victim. Yes, that dose actually
makes sense. Towards the end of the film we see the result of one of the creature’s
attacks, in the form of a hideous half breed that looks like the Toxic Avenger
crossed with a Virginia
